Posted at 10:06 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, nerdiness, SEO, Wordpress
Just a quick test to see if WordPress by defaults redirects slug changes using a 301 or 302 redirect. The original url for this post is: http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2010/03/18/test-of-wordpress-default-slug-redirect-301-or-302/ and I am going to change it to: http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2010/03/18/wordpress-redirect-302-or-302/ Be Sociable, Share!

Based on what Google chose to put in the #1 position for this query, it looks like Google is developing a teensy bit of an overinflated ego: Megalomania, anyone? Be Sociable, Share! Tweet

Stray Leftover Hacked WordPress Database Entry: rzf.php
Posted at 11:27 am | Filed Under coding, how-to, Wordpress
I never use my uploads directory or WordPress’s built in media management here on Smackdown, instead preferring to upload and manually insert the html for images myself in my posts (I know, I am weird that way), but my friend Donna has when she has guest blogged here in the past. I therefore knew that [...]

Posted at 8:45 am | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, lackofmeds, scams, search engines, SEO, Social Media

Jason Calacanis replied to my post from yesterday. In it he discusses how he is indeed deleting many of the spammy pages that I had pointed out. Some, like the duplicate content doorway pages, he continues to defend. Either way, progress is being made. However, he still kinda kills it by tossing in at the [...]

Mahalo.com: Meet the New Spam, Worse than the Old Spam
Posted at 12:23 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, Cuttisms, Google, lackofmeds, scams, SEO
Last week, after Matt Cutts gave Jason Calacanis a warning about Mahalo.com’s spammier pages (and probably a few stern looks as well), Jason changed a few items. He had them rename their spambot from “searchclick” to “stub”, thinking a less obvious name would throw off anyone looking into the spam situation. Very briefly they added [...]

Yesterday there was a tragic incident involving a lone gunman attacking the U.S. Pentagon. According to reports, the man intended to carry out this attack with 2 handguns and “many magazines” of ammunition. It probably would have worked, too, except Be Sociable, Share! Tweet
